"Tupac was born in Baltimore. But his momma came out here to be with his daddy, who is a Black Panther, so they lived in Marin City then all around West Oakland."

"Joan Baez? She's from San Rafael. She came to Berkeley because of at the time, this was the place of activism and all that..."

"The Doobie Brothers? From San Jose? Nooo, from San MATEO. I used to go listen to them play there all the time. They also hung out in a lot in Sausalito.."

"Sylvester wasnt from Oakland. He's from Alameda. So were his friends from Two Tons of Fun."

"Sheila E. and Pete Escovido are from North Oakland."

"Metallica? From Berkeley?? Hell no. Theyre from San Jose."

"Digital Underground? From Berkeley. Well, on the border of Oakland and Berkeley. When Tupac was with them, they were in Berkeley."

"Green Day from Vallejo? From Berkeley? Nuh-uh. North Oakland."
